WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury,
and product damage due to a short circuit,
never immerse your tool, battery pack or
charger in fl uid or allow a fl uid to fl ow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such
as seawater, certain industrial chemicals,
and bleach or bleach-containing products,
etc., can cause a short circuit.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it
is still impossible to completely eliminate certain
residual risk factors. The following hazards may
arise during use and the operator should pay
special attention to avoid the following:
■ injury caused by vibration
– Hold the product by the designated
handles and restrict working time and
exposure.
■ injury caused by flying debris
– Wear eye protection at all times.
■ injury caused by exposure to noise
– Wear hearing protection and limit
exposure.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from
handheld tools may contribute to a condition
called Raynaud's Syndrome. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness, and blanching of
the fi ngers, usually apparent upon exposure
to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to cold
and dampness, diet, smoking, and work
practices are all thought to contribute to the
development of these symptoms. There are
measures that can be taken by the operator to
possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather.
When operating the product, wear gloves
to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the
amount of exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and
see your physician.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by
prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take
regular breaks.
